Ed Orgeron spoke to the media after practice on Thursday and announced that freshman quarterback TJ Finley will start vs. South Carolina on Saturday.

Finley beat out fellow freshman Max Johnson for the starting spot, replacing Myles Brennan who is out with a lingering injury.

Max is weak and garbage just like Brennan was. Brennan took one hot and is out for the season. May needs stronger faster QBs to compete and play at an elite level. We tired of losing to bama, you don’t like it become a UL fan. Simple. Harrison was the only OK black qb out of the many at lsu.

Puttmail_393, I've only followed LSU since the early 90's but who is the black QB named Harrison that was the only OK QB for LSU? What about Herb Tyler, Rohan Davey and Jamarcus Russell? Were they OK?

I hate all of the woke crap, but screw those of you saying that TJ is only starting because of the color of his skin. That's BS. The kid has a lot of upside. I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

My hope is that the OC will script the 1st and 2nd series and the defense shows up so this kid does not get swallowed by having to make too many decisions and hold the ball too long. It would be nice to have a descent run game for these occasions too.

He may be another jamarcus Russel. Give the guy a chance. Obviously he’s the best we have at this point. Miles took one hit and is out for the season; “talk about weak”.

Interesting. Wonder if there’s any rhyme or reason or if he’ll just be the first one to get snaps.

Brennan is a little better than finley, but after spending 4 years with the team I expected for him to be. However, for all you pro max Johnson starters. The proof is in the pudding, Finley is light years ahead of max Johnson! Facts

Why you shaking your head the best player will start. I’m shaking my head at you but your know what. This doesn’t surprise me. Were tired of losing 8 games in a reaux to bama. The best man starts; screw the politics!
